I was scammed out of 35,000 dollars by Alton B*rbo*r 00185** who is in your prison. He has a long rap sheet, but he keeps getting let out of prison and scamming more and more women. I want to do whatever is possible to keep him in prison. He is not even there on my charges, but instead on charges from a woman he stole over 89k from. Believe me, he has stolen from many more women. If he is let out, he will just steal and scam more money from other women. I want to know what I can do to facilitate him staying in prison. I did press charges in Atlanta and they were filed. However, I know he is not there on my case. How can these charges be added or he be retired? Whatever it takes, I just don’t want the jerk out of prison. I will come and testify anytime. I am asking that I am notified of his status at all times. I would be willing to talk to anyone, the parole board, anyone to talk about the millions of dollars he has stolen from women. There has to be a justice system that keeps people like him locked up and away from innocent people like me. Not only that, I have grave concerns about my safety when he is released and have even considered moving because of it.

millions of dollars? if that was true he wouldn’t be in prison he would have hired a lawyer and bought the case. I’m not calling you a liar but I think your exagerrating on the number of people and the dollar amounts. fool me once shame on you theory. kind of idiotic to give someone 35k and want them locked up for life, prison doesn’t work like that unless you murder kidnap or home invasion, they have to let him out sooner or later. also seems like your very upset but all honesty I think your more upset with yourself than with him which you should be. I don’t condone stealing or scamming but you should know well enough not to give money to people like that and sounds like more of a civil matter. you didn’t explain how he “stole” scammed” 35k from you but one can only imagine he ran some weak game on you and you fell for it, once again fool me once shame on you, due to the fact only a fool would hand someone 35k at once, therefor you gave him money in increments which leads me or anyone else to believe that you are very gullible and believe anything. I damn sure wouldn’t hand anyone 100 at once let alone 35k for that fact. sounds like theres a lot more to the story than what your saying, and wishing someone life in prison is very sinister, until you go there you have no idea what its really like. and you haven’t even pondered the idea of him being in society working so he can pay you back, surely you would rather have your 35k back than having your tax dollars feed cloth and shelter him everyday and night. settle down, accept the fact that you fell for a scam artist which in hind sight you should have known better than to be fooled like that, and stop wishing hate on people, what goes around comes around and sounds like you have done someone dirty in the past and its catching up to you, if someone stole 35k from you like you claim surely the police would arrest him so your story isn’t adding up, and get real you act like he raped you, they have to release him sooner or later, bring the thousands of victims that you know to his parole hearing, that’s just silly and is comical that’s only reason why I am replying to your silly post. get over yourself and realize that your stupidity is more or less half the reason you gave away your money.
